Suturing Workshops

Exposure to surgical techniques 

All HKU/CUHK medical students are welcome to join our Basic Suturing Workshop and no prior experience is required.  You will have the chance to try out a variety of suturing techniques like the Surgeon’s knot and interrupted sutures. Practicing under the supervision of invited surgeons, you will get feedback in real-time and truly master what you’ve learned.

Bond with practicing surgeons

Every year, we invite a number of esteemed surgeons with a wealth of expertise in their specialities as instructors. Participants will gain an overview of techniques commonly used in the operating room; as well as insights into how different suturing techniques are used in a clinical setting and in different procedures.

 Advanced Suturing workshop

All participants of the basic suturing workshop are eligible to join the advanced suturing workshop. Intermediate level techniques such as the subcuticular suture will be taught as an add-on to what was taught in the basic suturing workshop. Participants will integrate their current skillsets in simulated situations like wound closing using real animal tissues.
